Maria Callas, a Greek singer born in the United States, was worth $1 million.
Born in New York City, New York in December 1923, Maria Callas died in September 1977.
Her soprano voice and reputation as one of the most influential and renowned opera singers of the 20th century were widely recognized.
La Divina, a musical and dramatic talent, was bestowed upon Callas.
Her training took place in Greece, but her professional journey took place in Italy.
Due to her poor health during wartime, Callas suffered from nearsightedness on stage, and she lost weight at the height of her career, which may have contributed to her vocal decline.
Her involvement in controversy involved a romantic liaison with Aristotle Onassis, a Greek shipping magnate.
Leonard Bernstein referred to her as “the Bible of opera” while Opera News described her as “the definition of the diva as an artist.”
In her final years, she spent her time alone in Paris.
